ABSTRACT Radical treatment for prostate cancer is associated with significant morbidity. Percutaneous image-guided irreversible electroporation is a non-thermal ablative technique that has emerged as a valuable option. This study describes the case of a patient with prostate cancer who was successfully treated using irreversible electroporation. We report the case of a 72-year-old male patient who presented with elevated PSA (4.0ng/mL) during routine testing. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging of the prostate revealed a 0.8 cm lesion in the posterolateral aspect of […]

Highlights Radiofrequency ablation and percutaneous ethanol injection are neoadjuvant hepatocellular carcinoma treatment methods. Radiofrequency ablation achieves a higher complete response rate (96.3% versus 60.0%, p=0.001). Total cost analyses showed radiofrequency ablation as a more expensive method (p<0.001). The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was US$ -2674.59 with an advantage for radiofrequency ablation. Incremental effectiveness (34.2%) was in favor of radiofrequency ablation versus percutaneous ethanol injection. ABSTRACT Objective: This study assessed the cost-effectiveness of radiofrequency ablation compared with percutaneous ethanol injection in patients […]
